In Japan, bifenox is the only registered diphenyl ether herbicide. The tolerance and/or maximum residue limits (MRLs) are established at 0.1 mg kg for cereals such as rice grain, barley and wheat, and 0.05mgkg for potatoes (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japan). Ibe California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) established the minimum detectable quantity of diphenyl ether herbicides at 0.1 mgkg for bifenox, nitrofen and oxyfluorfen. ... 

A 1982 guidance document of the World Health Organization (WHO, 1982) suggested use of loose-fitting, cotton, whole-body dosimeters (WBD) to overcome inefficient sample collection. The California Department of Food and Agriculture recognized the limited usefulness of patch dosimeters for determination of ADD in handler, harvester, and indoor pesticide exposure studies (Maddy et al., 1989). Whole-body dosimeters worn outside or inside standard work clothing may be a suitable means to quantitatively collect...

Phase separation is brought about with the addition of a salt. The acetonitrile approach is preferred by the California Department of Food and Agriculture because of the higher recoveries possible (see Table 6-2) (Lee et al. 1991). The advantage of acetonitrile is found in its ability to more readily solvate residues and in the ease with which the phase separation can be accomplished through the addition of salt (Lee et al. 1991). Reported LODs for diazinon were typically 10-50 ppb. One of the methods eliminated any clean-up steps after the initial extraction (Hsu et al. 1991) to provide a method with a faster turnaround time with some loss in sensitivity (LOD approximately 100 ppb) relative to the purified samples.

The regulations adopted by the California Department of Food and Agriculture requiring the use of closed-transfer systems went into effect in April 1977. At that time, several types of equipment were put into use, and a series of studies were undertaken to evaluate their effectiveness in protecting workers.

A little-known source of biodegradation rates of pesticides is data developed by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). They estimated aerobic and anaerobic soil metabolism half-lives from open scientific literature and studies submitted to CDFA from chemical companies in compliance with the data call-in requirements of the Pesticide Contamination Prevention Act. Table 12.15 tabulates these data. 

Dr. Bidlack is past president of the Food Safety Specialty Section of the Society of Toxicology, served on the International Life Sciences Institute Committee on Nutrition and Food Safety, and held the position of scientific advisor for the subcommittee on iron and health and the subcommittee on apoptosis related to fumonisin toxicity. He has also served as a member of the board for the Certification Board for Nutrition Specialists and actively contributed to the creation of the national certification exam. In addition, he is serving on the editorial board and as book editor for the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. He served as an editor of two books on phytochemicals published by Technomics and four others published by CRC Press the seventh in the series is in press. He continues to review grants for several agencies and universities. Currently, Dr. Bidlack is serving as a member of the board of the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
